Redirects

[edit]

Please stop creating unwanted redirects to templates. This is not Wikipedia, and these redirects using capital letters are just a nuisance here. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 22:27, 15 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Chinese categories

[edit]

Please stop adding Cantonese categories; they have been deprecated. Also, please stop to consider whether the term you are categorising in fact belongs in that category, instead of trying to add as many as possible. Unequal treaties are not a kind of war, or part of war. They emerged due to wars, but that doesn't mean the word for "unequal treaty" belongs in the category for war. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 03:00, 29 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Categories 2

[edit]
Most of your categorising is unwanted, and I have had to revert many of your edits. You have been adding overly general categories, putting categories on alternative forms, and adding categories that are just bizarre, like this. I tried to explain this above, but you have continued in the same vein, so please stop adding categories altogether. If you continue to add them inappropriately, you will be blocked. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 03:54, 7 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Metaknowledge: I'm not going to "stop adding categories altogether", but since you say I'm categorizing wrong, can you please provide with or clearly state the rules on categorization. Can you please explain exactly what you mean by "unwanted", "overly general", etc.. Which guidelines specifically am I violating? — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  04:16, 7 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
Applying categories takes some level of judgement, and not everybody can make that judgement well. It's not really something that can be taught, but I tried to explain it above with unequal treaties. If that didn't make sense, I'm not sure I will be able to do better; you might ask @Chuck Entz, perhaps. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 04:36, 7 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
Well, you've continued to add categories that are inappropriate as described above, like Category:Culture for a word that means "bad". Accordingly, I will block you for one day. Additionally, please look at {{sense}} to understand when that template should be used. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 05:52, 7 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
